Why does the pre-release Fedora 9 not have a simple WAV decoder? I<br>
can't even play simple PCM files with totem (or any other media<br>
player, except command-line 'play')<br>
<br>
<br>
I've noticed that with F9 for some deeply annoying reason totem defaults to using the xine backend, and the totem-backend selector appears to do nothing, thus I have to start it from the commandline every time to get gstreamer use. <br>

Apparently this is a side effect of a upgrade from a previous release. In a fresh installation, according to the spec, gstreamer has a higher priority than xine backend. If you have done a fresh installation and see this issue, a bug report should be filed. Meanwhile you can remove the totem-xine sub package.<br>

It appears that you are correct. Based on your info, I did a yum remove \*totem\* and then reinstalled it one at a time. I don't understand why the yum update didn't work correctly, though.<br>
